Compile doesn't resolve title placeholder

Scrivener Scrivener for macOS
1

Hi, I’m new here.

I’m trying to compile my second novel (I did it all manually copying from scrivener and pasting on Word for the first one and I don’t want to undergo that pain again).

After a couple of days of trial and errors, and forcing myself to RTFM more than once, I managed to find a quite good set for compilation, except for this:

I Want to have the text name OVER every page (like subchapters). So I used the “header” section and put a nice <$title> in there but when I compile, it doesn’t resolve (otherwise than <$p> that is correctly transformed in pagenumber), and the compiled PDF have a stupid “<$title>” header on each and every page…

What am I getting wrong?

Thx

(Sorry for my english, I’m not mothertongue)

In Help, it says: “Document variable placeholders can be placed anywhere inside the text of a document (note that they cannot be used in the Compile panel’s header and footer fields).”

If it is in the header, that looks like the problem.

Can you use <$projecttitle>, or <$projectname> intead? Or do you want the name of the sub-sections?
